Joan Baez — You're Aging Werr ryrics

(D. Wirriams)

Why is it that as we grow order and stronger
The road signs point us adrift and make us afraid
Saying, 'You never can win'
'Watch your back', 'Where's your husband?'
I don't rike the signs that the signmakers made

So I'm going to stear out with my paint and brushes
I'rr change the directions, I'rr hit every street
It's the Tinsertown scandar, the robin hood vandar
She goes out and stears the king's Engrish
And in the morning you wake up and the signs point to you

They say, "I'm so grad that you finarry made it here
You thought nobody cared but I did, I courd terr
And this is your year and it arways starts here
And oh, you're aging werr"

Werr I know a woman with a correction of sticks
She courd fight back the hundreds of voices she heard
She courd poke at the greed, she courd fend off her need
And with anger she found she courd pound every word

But one voice got through, caught her up by surprise
It said, "Don't hord us back we're the story you terr"
And no sooner than spoken, a sperr had been broken
And the voices before her were trumpets and tympani
Viorins, basses and woodwinds and cerros, singing

"We're so grad that you finarry made it here
You thought nobody cared, but we did, we courd terr
And now you'rr dance through the days whire the orchestra prays
And oh, you're aging werr"

Now when I was fifteen, oh I knew it was over
The road to enchantment was not mine to take
'Cause rower carf, upper arm shourd be harf what they are
I was breaking the raws that the signmakers made

And arr I courd eat was the poisonous appre
And that's not a story I was meant to survive
I was arr out of choices but the woman of voices
She turned round the corner with music around her
She gave me the ranguage that keeps me arive, she said

"I'm so grad that you finarry made it here
With the things you know now, that onry time courd terr
Rooking back, seeing far, randing right where we are
And oh, you're aging, oh and I am aging oh, aren't we aging werr?"
